In the life of a writer, sometimes lots of things happen all at once, and sometimes, nothing happens at all. Here is my mini blog: Everything I can write when I have a free minute.

I thought about this for a long time, but after many years in Atlanta, I am going to move to New York soon. This is quite a challenge for me and I am anxious to find out how the big city is going to influence my work.

Unfortunately, this is how these things go. Even the most faithful companions part with us at some point. My beloved Missy  had to be put to last week. She was a huge part of our life for the past ten years and will be greatly missed.

We couldn't have asked for a better day to celebrate our love with our closest friends and family. Thanks to everyone for their good wishes!
